Received my Florida, non-resident, concealed carry permit in the mail while I was gone. Took $ 117.00 and just over three weeks. I will let my permit in WV expire and I can now carry concealed in 34 states including Missouri (where I will be in two weeks) and Texas (where I will be in three weeks.)

About gunwriter

Born and raised in the West Virginia hills, Richard literally grew up in the woods. He has chased coon hounds until daylight, waited out whitetails perched high in an oak, canoed the New River and hunted from the Montana Mountains to the Green Hills of Africa.
During service in the Army and later as a municipal police officer and Special Agent with the railroad police, Richard obtained numerous certifications in small arms instruction. He has trained military personnel, law enforcement officers and civilians in the application of firearms for defensive, competitive and recreational use. Richard won the West Virginia Governor’s Twenty Award for law enforcement, the West Virginia National Guard State Pistol Competition and earned his Distinguished Medal with pistol.
Badge turned in, Richard is now a contributing editor for several magazines. He was the compiling author of the book, Rifle Bullets for the Hunter and conceptualized and contributed to Selecting and Ordering a Custom Hunting Rifle. Richard also contributed a chapter to the John Velke book, The True Story of the Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency. Richard has patents on a riflescope reticle and a revolutionary bullet testing media.
A hillbilly at heart, Richard lives on Shadowland - his shooting range in West Virginia - with the most understanding wife in the world, their three kids and a very protective ridgeback hound.

I got my TX CHL last year… the written portion of the course was a joke, and the practical (live-fire) exercise was trivially easy. After I sent in all my paperwork, they kicked it back to me twice. Once on the complaint about fingerprints not being up to spec, and another because they didn’t like my passport photo. 5 and a half months after taking the class and submitting paperwork, my license arrived in the mail.

I understand Florida costs a bit more, but is good for 7 years. I did a class for the Utah CCW, and sent that off a week ago. The states they have reciprocity with matches well with my travels to go hunting…
